Rob has finally managed to get his harvest home, far later than he would have liked but at least all his tasty oats, wheat and barley are now carefully stored away for the coming year. I went to see the grain store yesterday and was amazed at the sheer size of the grain mountain. Rob is just relieved to have finally finished driving his combine though there is hardly time for a rest as the ploughing and planting for next year's crop as to be planted right away.
I love the fact that the cereal I held in my hand yesterday may end up in my bowl of muesli very soon. And through meeting Rob and some of our other Conservation Grade farmers I know the sheer effort they put in every single day to grow our grain for me, and lots of other people to eat and enjoy.
